Mango Lassi - TastyPlanner.com

This yummy Indian mango drink is popular in Indian restaurants here in the States. Its really a guessing game as far as the amount of the ingredients to add, so add a little, taste, and repeat until you get this drink as sweet, sour, creamy, or as rich as you like.

One reader has even experimented with this recipe using non-dairy alternatives for those with a milk intolerance. Everyone at her home finds them delicious!! Thanks Kaenar!

Prep time: 5 Min.Cook time: 5 Min.Serves: 4

Ingredients

1 1/2
cups
plain yogurt

1 1/2
cups
Indian mango purée (or to taste)

2
cup
whole or 2% milk

1/4
cup
sugar (or to taste)

1
handful
of Ice

Instructions

In a blender, combine yogurt, mango purée, milk, some sugar (to taste), and 1 to 2 cups ice cubes and blend until smooth. Pour into 4 tall glasses to serve.

Note: It has been suggested that you DO NOT use fresh mango. Indian restaurants only use canned mango or mango pulp from the sweetest, least fibrous mangoes. The mangoes that you buy in the US are not the sweetest, their fibers will destroy the smooth creamy texture, and their acid content will ruin the taste and possibly curdle the lassi. Mango purée can be found in most grocery stores in their international food section.
